And because of that, a number insurance companies went belly up when hurricane and flooding damage losses became too much, or stopped issuing insurance in Florida. Many are now insured with a state owned insurance of last resort.
Much of this could be due to the "dripping" of rock under NA, though climate change surely plays a factor. Fun, or not so fun, reading, depending on how you look at it.
There is already significant coastal flooding during mildly above average tides, it seems like just a matter of 10-15 years before some very populated parts of Florida become untenable to live in

Didn’t they make it illegal to factor climate change into house prices and insurance or something?

There's virtually no factual truth that DeSantis won't make illegal.

Not sure how you can factor it into house pricing. People will be unwilling to pay such high prices for a risky investment, simple market dynamics.
Insurance would be more able to accomodate though.

10 meters is a worst case projection for 2300. There will be plenty of flooding and more powerful hurricanes before that though.

Perhaps people can still sell their homes to fucking Aquaman.

for reference, 10 meters is about 33 feet, making the original map quite reasonable

I can see it now Cubans using old classic cars as boats grumbling about how socialism would be worse.
